HERMAN MOSGHOOVVITZ, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

STAY FOR GA'RM ENTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,476, dated June 8, 1886.

Application filed June 4, 1884.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN Mosonoowrrz, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stays for Garments, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention has for its object to provide a novel springstay for garments; and it consists in astay composed of a single thickness of spring material having a solid unbroken central or middle portion, and its ends formed with elongated slots, the end walls ofsaid slots being curved or rounded to prevent the securing-threads from being out by angular corners.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a perspective view of the improved stay.

In order to enable those skilled in the artto make and use my inventioml will now describe the same in detail, reference being made to the drawing, in which the letter A indicates the stay, which is formed by cutting, stamping, or otherwise producing it by means of suitable dies, cutters, or other tools, from thin springsteel or other similar material. The stay is formed at each end with an elongated slot, B,

which slotsextend in the direction of the length of the stay. These elongated slots reduce the body of the stay at opposite ends, so that as a consequence the stay will be rendered more pliable or flexible at the ends than at other points without detracting from the desired firmness of the middle portion, which is left solid or unbroken. The slots serve for the Serial No. 133,941. (No moth-l.)

passage of threads by which to stitch the stay to the garment, and also to permit the stay to be shifted or adjusted lengthwise, if necessary. The end walls of theslot are curved or rounded,

for the-purposeot' preventing the attaching or the stay is rendered more pliable or flexible at the 'ends than at other points, while the slots serye to stitch the stay to the garment, and the rounded or curved end walls of the slots prevent the threads from being cut.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim is A stay for garments, composed of a single thickness of spring material haringasolid unbroken middle portion and its ends formed with elongated slots, the end walls of said C slots being curved to prevent the securing- 1 threads from being out by angular corners, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HERMAN MOSCHCOWVITZ.
